\nThis week focuses on teaching vocabulary as well as how to answer word choice questions.
I believe that teaching vocabulary over time is one of the hardest aspects of teaching reading. When children are young, they pick up most of their vocabulary from the people around them, what they watch and how they interact with the world. They pick up new words easily, and most of the time we don\u2019t even have to think about getting them to expand their word choice.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
But as children get older, new vocabulary tends to come from what they read, and if that choice is limited, or children come from families where improving in a language, English or otherwise, is not prized, then their vocabulary is easily capped. As educators, we have to find new ways of introducing words that are more effective in demonstrating meaning.
